Hello dear dear friends. Gosh it has been awhile since I wrote. Every day I make an attempt to write something and wind up closing my computer. It's such a private time in my life and yet I know from the outpouring of love I've received from you all, you guys do care about what is happening here. So let's get up-to-date, shall we?
We have good and bad days still. I wish there were more good ones but that isn't how it is. Living in reality isn't easy. Larry is on hospice and as scary as that sounds, it's a blessing. Hospice nurses are angels sent directly to us to help us through these confusing and sometimes unbearable days. It is such a relief to have someone to rely on 24/7. No more cold, sterile hospitals.
One of the things I've been reading about and adopting into my life is living seasonally. I suppose we all to some extent already do it but I've really immersed myself. In a nutshell, it is moving, eating and sleeping with the season. It is a beautiful way to live and I wish I'd started sooner. But it's never too late.
There is a beauty to having to submit to the rhythm of this season. I am up very early and go to bed very early. I bundle up each day and go for a walk and truly take in the beauty of the moment. Whether it is the foliage or birdsong, I notice it all.
I am also eating with this season. Lots of roasted root vegetables in soups and stews simmering on the stove. Citrus is in abundance in my neighborhood so I've been eating lots of oranges, lemons and grapefruit.
Enough about me. I'd love to hear what you are up to. What season are you are living in and what do your days look like?
